ACHARYA – The Movie

Is the true story of A.C. Bhaktivedhanta Swami Prabhupada, the revolutionary pioneer of Bhakti Yoga in the western world.

“Everyone has heard of the Hare Krishna movement, but very few have heard the remarkable story of the man who founded it. If someone told you this story, you wouldn’t believe it”.
– Dr. Thomas J. Hopkins

50th Anniversary of the Arrival of Srila Prabhupada in America

I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, who is very dear to Lord Krishna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.

namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe

nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe

Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvatī Gosvāmī. You arekindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanyadeva and delivering the Western countries, which arefilled with impersonalism and voidism.

“As Founder-Ācārya Śrīla Prabhupāda holds a unique position in ISKCON. We need to understand it deeply. As ācārya, his exemplary personal behavior is themodel and norm for all ISKCON devotees. As founder, his personal standards andprinciples of action, his particular spirit or “mood,” take on a societal shape and form in the organization he created. Each individual member internalizes thatspirit, incorporating it into the core of his or her own identity. His spirit pervades the institution as the essence of its own culture, and the members become its visibleembodiment in the world” (Srila Prabhupada, The Founder Acarya of ISKCON – Ravindra Svarupa Dasa)

Our 2015 Campaign will end on December 31, 2015, but that does not mean that our programs and/our enthusiasm will stop. This year taught us a lot and we are ever eager to continue our service to Srila Prabhupada and Their Lordships.

Another milestone will take place in 2016, the 50th Anniversary of the incorporation of ISKCON, The INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS. Stay tuned for more information.

To all of you who made our programs a success, who came together in the spirit of cooperation, who were driven by the love for Guru, Gauranga and of course, SriSri Radha-Madhavahari, THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
